Vocaloid Ballad Masterpieces [Tear-jerking & Heart-wrenching] (121–130)
PuzzleKuwagata P
Included on the 2010 album “Flashback Sound.” From the intro, the weeping-sounding guitar melody really grabs me.
The contrast with the piano is beautiful too, fitting both a bittersweet state of mind and emotions on the verge of overflowing.
It feels like my feelings are about to undergo a gestalt collapse! The days I lost without noticing, and the days we laughed together—surely both are irreplaceably precious.
self-indulgenceKomeda wara
A song by Vocaloid producer Komedawara, released in 2020.
It opens with crisp acoustic guitar strumming and a rhythmic vocal melody, and the dry tone of the electric guitar that joins partway through heightens the song’s sense of poignancy—there’s a lot to listen for.
The well-placed break in the first verse catches the ear, creating a tension that keeps the listener engaged and brings out the heartache in the lyrics.
In the outro, playing the main guitar riff an octave higher wraps up the track simply yet effectively.
It’s a tear-jerking Vocaloid ballad that conveys the determination to keep moving forward even through days when nothing seems to go right.
Theater Terpsichorahachi
Kenshi Yonezu is a singer who currently enjoys overwhelming popularity.
This is a song he originally composed back when he was a Vocaloid producer.
For that reason, it’s well-known among many Vocaloid fans.
The piece takes theater as its theme, portraying a dancer who keeps performing idly, continuing to dance while thinking about various things.
It depicts a cruel reality in which there’s no place for them in the real world, making it a strangely lifelike song that pierces the heart.
PlayPikon
Thinking about someone you once loved can make you feel nostalgic, can’t it? For those feelings, “Regeneration” offers a gentle companion.
Created in 2021 by the Vocaloid producer Picon, known for mysterious atmospheres, this piece features a classical melodic line and a poignant piano tone.
Hatsune Miku’s vocals beautifully capture the loneliness of parting and are sure to resonate with your heart.
It’s also recommended for those who don’t usually listen to Vocaloid.
Why not let yourself be wrapped in a work that speaks through a grand theme?
Dream Town ContrastDenporu P
The 16th work by Denpol-P, known for “Hitorinbo Envy.” The piano tone is poignantly beautiful, and from the intro it’s an exceptionally pleasant masterpiece.
It’s a song about parting, but it carefully depicts the feelings in one’s heart, making you feel very gentle even as it aches with sadness.
The sunset sky in the video heightens the emotions even more.
